THOMASTON, CT, UNITED STATES, May 2, 2025 /
EINPresswire.com/ -- What does it take to transform a local enterprise into a national digital force without leaving your hometown behind? Bob Bartosiewicz, founder and CEO of CGI Digital, provides an answer rooted in discipline, foresight, and a commitment to community. Featured in
HelloNation Magazine, Bartosiewicz’s journey from Thomaston, Connecticut to leading one of the country’s most community-centric marketing firms reveals how small-town values can shape large-scale impact.
Bartosiewicz's early life in Thomaston, where his father worked tirelessly in a factory and his mother served as a nurse, laid the foundation for his entrepreneurial vision. He began his career selling rust-proofing products in upstate New York before launching Community Graphics Incorporated in the 1990s. That venture evolved into CGI Digital, now a 300-employee firm known for its support of municipalities and small businesses navigating the digital economy. His leadership has steered the company through technological revolutions, all while maintaining a clear focus on civic engagement and local development.
CGI Digital’s partnerships with organizations like the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National League of Cities reflect Bartosiewicz’s belief in the potential of America’s mid-sized cities. He has kept CGI headquartered in Rochester, New York, demonstrating that technological innovation doesn’t require migration to coastal hubs. Bartosiewicz’s initiatives go beyond profit; he has made meaningful contributions to Thomaston, including more than $300,000 in scholarships for local students.
His latest endeavor, HelloNation.com, is a video-first platform that unites local governments, businesses, and citizens through storytelling. With the platform’s national bus tour underway, Bartosiewicz continues to invest in platforms that amplify the voices of underrepresented communities and ensure that every town has a seat at the digital table.
